Can you resize a modal widget? The documentation to the /MODAL keyword of Widget_Base seems to say no:

"Modal dialogs cannot be resized, regardless of the setting of the TLB_SIZE_EVENTS keyword."

But I was unaware of this limitation so I went ahead and used the /TLB_SIZE_EVENTS keyword to WIDGET_BASE on my top-level base (which also includes the /modal keyword), and roughly followed the resizing method described in
http://www.idlcoyote.com/widget_tips/resize_draw.html

And the resizing worked fine -- so long as one was working on a Mac. But the code fails on Windows machine.

So perhaps the documentation should read that modal dialogs cannot be resized on a Windows machine? Or has anyone managed to resize a modal widget under Windows? Thanks, --Wayne
